UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SAUCE MAKING MACHINE Sylvester Fatt, Willoughby, Ohio Application November 5, 1934, Serial No. 751,624 1 Claim. (Cl. 1116-174) This invention relates to a machine for exsprings permit the blades to move inwardly when tracting juices from fruits, vegetables and the under pressure or when contacting with the walls like, and has for the primary object the proviof the chamber 2. One end of the shaft is sion of a device of this character which will equipped with a crank handle 8 so that the drum easily and efficiently remove juices and pulp from may be easily rotated and during the rotation 5 the refuse (such as skin and seeds) and discharge thereof in the direction of the arrow in Figure 3, the juices and pulp separately from refuse and will bring about crushing of fruit or vegetables which may be operated with minimum effort and placed in the hopper. The curved wall of the will be simple and durable in construction and chamber 2 is provided with a series of perfora- 10 may be manufactured at low cost. tions 9 to permit the juices and pulp of the fruit 10 With these and other objects in view, this inor vegetables to escape and may be caught in a vention consists in certain novel features of consuitable receptacle. The chamber 2 is provided struction, combination and arrangement of parts with an outlet port I0 communicative with a to be hereinafter more fully described and trough II. The refuse is discharged into the l5 claimed. trough II by way of the outlet port I0.
